[raiguard] Installed dependent mods are refetched on update
Posted: Fri Sep 01, 2023 6:54 am
Yesterday, I updated Nullius using the in-game mod manager. The update pulled in "Angel's Smelting" (along with its dependency "Angel's Petrochemical Processing") and "Bob's Logistics mod". Now there was another update to "Nullius", and I noticed that these dependencies were downloaded again although they were already at the latest version:
This seems like a waste of bandwidth, and as the game already knows which mods are available on my computer, I guess it should be possible to compare the version numbers before downloading dependent mods. As a side note: "Nullius" also has a hard dependency on "Alien Biomes". However, the game did not try to update that mod (required version: >=0.6.5, available version: 0.6.8). While this is the behavior I'd expect, it seems inconsistent in regard to what's happening with the other dependent mods.
